Ingredients
  

  • 8 corn tortillas warmed
  • 1 lb cod fillets or other whitefish
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup GF sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp lime zest
  • 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • 2 tsp canned/pickled diced chilis or fresh jalapeno, finely diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Fillings

  • 1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced (or use pickled onions)
  • 1 cup red cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 cup pineapple chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions
 

  • For sauce, combine all ingredients and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to intensify.
  • Sprinkle cod with salt and pepper and fry in oil until lightly browned and fully cooked, about 3 minutes per side (or bake in oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes), or until flesh flakes easily with fork. Cut into bite-sized pieces and place into a dish.
  • Prepare fillings and place into separate serving dishes, then allow everyone to assemble their own tacos to their desired taste.

Notes

You can mix onions and cabbage into sauce, but don't add the cabbage until just before serving or else it will turn the mixture pink in color.
